Training program to develop investigative skills, aimed at teachers in their pedagogical actions

Abstract

In today's society, the importance of research in all areas of knowledge is inevitable, but it is undoubtedly in educational processes that its rise lies. Therefore, teacher training programs in investigative skills are essential to achieve educational quality. This article was based on the postulates of Freire (2004); Stenhouse (2007); Andrade (2015); Díaz (2017); and Gil (2017), among others. The objective was based on designing a training program to develop investigative skills aimed at teachers in their pedagogical actions of the San Francisco Javier National Educational Unit in Barquisimeto, Iribarren municipality, Lara state, Venezuela. A descriptive field methodology with a projective modality was used. As for the study population, it was made up of 50 teachers. For the data collection technique, it was managed in a structured questionnaire with alternative answers, validated using the expert judgment technique, and its reliability was calculated with the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, generating 0.96 of high reliability. The results were analyzed and tabulated, demonstrating the need for a training program to develop investigative skills. In conclusion, it was determined that the approaches and the postulates allowed to justify the design of the training program.
